Uruguay: according to a survey, Peñarol is the most popular club

Peñarol has the largest amount of supporters (46%) in Uruguay, according to a survey revealed on Thursday by consultancy group Cifra. 35% of respondents prefers their arch-rival Nacional.

The survey, conducted by Cifra for the weekly Búsqueda, confirmed how soccer mad Uruguay is: 83% of the respondents stated that they were interested in football, while only 17% said they do not like it.

To confirm that passion, 42% of respondents said they watch football matches featuring different teams, not just their own.

However, a quarter of Uruguayans watch football only when the national team is playing.

The most talked about result on social networks was that 46% of respondents expressed a preference for Peñarol, while fans of arch-rivals Nacional accounted for 35%. On the other hand, only 6% are fans of other teams.

Telenovela about football gives Colombians reprieve from ´narcos´

The triumphs and defeats of the best generation of Colombian footballers are narrated in a successful telenovela which gives a reprieve from the usual ´narcomelodrama´.

Millions of Colombians tune in every night to ´La selection´, a series based on the team that qualified for the World Cups in Italy-1990, United States-1994 and France 1998, their last appearance in a World Cup.

"We wanted to emphasize that Colombia is not only drug traffickers, guerrillas and paramilitaries. We want to change that image and give a refreshing view of values, work and effort, which is also what we are," said Ricardo Coral, who directs the production along with Luis Restrepo, to the AFP.

The series leads in the ratings with a story focused on the outstanding players: Carlos ´Kid´ Valderrama, Rene Higuita, Faustino Asprilla and Freddy Rincon.

"They are very rich characters from a dramatic point of view," said Coral.

The show also has in the background other players as well as coach Francisco Maturana, who coached the team to the World Cups in 1990 and 1994, and the temperamental Hernan Dario Gomez, coach in France, 1998.

The four protagonists find themselves in stories of love, heartbreak and comic situations, generating the tensions of a melodrama.

The series has a culmination: the 5-0 win the Colombians handed to Argentina in the qualifiers for the WC in the United States on September 5, 1993.

Asprilla (ex-player for Parma, Italy) and Rincon (Former Real Madrid, Spain) each scored two goals in that game.

"Things you should not talk about"

"The story is based on their lives but it is not an exact portrayal. For dramatic needs we had to put in things to create more tension. There are other things you should not talk about. They are public figures and we want to generate positive values​​," said Coral.

But there are episodes where truth is stranger than fiction, as in one where Higuita (ex-Valladolid, Spain) flirts with a girl not knowing it is his half-sister.

"The dad comes in and says, it´s your sister...," it seems like fiction, but it´s real," said the director.

Characterization is another success of the show, part of which was filmed in Spain.

Edgar Victorino, who plays the ´Kid´, the golden curled star who played for Montpellier in France, told the AFP that "he was very scared" because he believed that people would "love or hate me for the rest of my life..."

"As an actor I always respected him. I played the part so people would say that is the ´Kid´, the man we admire," he said.

Victorino was studying in the United States when he was contacted about the series. He prepared for the character by buying a blond wig in New York, watching videos, interviewing acquaintances of the ´Kid´ and visiting the pitch where the ´kid´ started playing football. He also spent an afternoon with him.

World Cup fever

"Every year there was a telenovela that had to do with drug trafficking or violence. Now not only the dads can sit and watch a telenovela but children also," said the actor.

The decision to distance themselves from the drug scene led to a scene being deleted in which Higuita was with the late drug lord Pablo Escobar, whose life was told in the TV series ´The pattern of evil´ (2012), on the same channel.

However, the mafia theme comes up for their infiltration into various clubs in the 1980s and 1990s. "It is mentioned, but it is not an essential part," according to Coral.

The success of the series is also linked to the World Cup fever as Colombia is close to qualifying for the 2014 edition, a factor that the producers have taken advantage of.

The first part of the telenovela will end with the 5-0 triumph and with the players visiting Higuita in prison, where he spent six months in mediating for the release of a hostage.

The second part will begin to be filmed in early 2014 and will tell the stories up to the World Cup in France.

Argentina: Mauro Icardi replaces Lionel Messi

Coach Alejandro Sabella called Icardi to join the roster of the team that will face the Peruvians on October 11 in Buenos Aires and against Uruguay on October 15 in Montevideo, in the last two games of the qualifiers.

Messi will be sidelined two to three weeks with a muscle injury suffered in last Saturday´s game against Barcelona and Almeria in the Spanish League.

Argentina is already qualified for the World Cup in Brazil and Peru is eliminated, while Uruguay is still fighting for a spot.

The star of FC Barcelona was not dropped from the list because he still might have a chance to recover.

Los convocados de Azkagorta

LA PAZ -- El técnico de la selección boliviana de fútbol, el español Xabier Azkargorta, convocó hoy a 26 jugadores, incluidos cinco ´foráneos´, para enfrentar a Perú en la última jornada de las eliminatorias sudamericanas del Mundial Brasil 2014.

Soccer roundup: O’Higgins moves to top of Chile’s Apertura

Universidad Católica and Cobreloa drop points, O’Higgins registers a two point lead and Universidad de Chile moves to fourth as Primera División reaches halfway point.

O’Higgins 1-0 Huachipato

O’Higgins claimed top spot in the league with its fourth straight win of the season over last-placed Huachipato on Friday. A second-half goal from midfielder Pablo Herández saw the home team pull away from early season pace-setters Universidad Católica and Cobreloa — neither of whom registered a win over the weekend — blowing the title race wide open.

Despite coming agonizingly close to winning the Apertura in 2012, O’Higgins has never claimed a first division title in Chilean soccer. Club manager Eduardo Berizzo refused to speculate over history making, however, as he felt the win — captured via a controversial penalty — was not a just reflection of a match in which his team played poorly.

“We have our feet on the ground — our position in the table does not distract us,” Berizzo said to press after the match. “Being top is exciting, but it means nothing — when you play badly, you play badly. Just because you’re leading doesn’t mean you’re performing well.”

Berizzo praised his defense that continued the fine form that warded off Católica last weekend, though was damning of an attack that largely failed to threaten one of the weakest teams in the league.

The first of O’Higgins’ players to misfire was forward Carlos Escobar, who was presented with a gilt-edged opportunity early on in the first half. Released in the box by a ball over the top of Huachipato’s backline, Escobar was unmarked and under no pressure from goalkeeper Nery Veloso when he dragged his shot wide of the left upright.

Escobar did much better with a header minutes later, though Veloso flew through the air to deny the striker a chance of redemption.

Huachipato hit back with a volley from José Contreras that was well saved by the ever-dependable Paulo Garcés, and the keeper was on hand again to block a vicious, dipping long ranger from midfielder Mauricio Yedro.

Midway through the second-half, Huachipato defender Carlos Labrin leapt into a 50/50 challenge on the edge of the box with striker Francisco Pizarro. The exchange left the latter writhing on the ground and the referee pointed to the spot, though the visitors spiritedly contested the decision, claiming that neither serious contact had occurred nor had the event taken place within the technical area. The referee was unmoved, Huachipato manager Jorge Pellicer was banned from the touchline for dissent, and midfielder Pablo Hernández scored with the penalty.

O’Higgins took control of the game for the first time, and almost doubled its lead through striker Osman Huerta, though he hit the woodwork when it looked easier to score, and the game finished 1-0.

A stern test away to Universidad de Chile awaits the league leaders next weekend, while Huachipato will try and lift itself from the bottom of the table at home to Palestino.

Iquique 2-2 Universidad Católica

Universidad Católica missed a chance to reclaim the top spot in the league against Iquique on Sunday, relinquishing a two goal lead in the final four minutes of injury time. Aside from claiming the team was tired after its Copa Sudamericana fixture in Brazil last week, manager Martín Lasarte was at a loss to explain how his side could throw away two points so easily after dominating throughout.

“This is the kind of game that could cost us later on,” Lasarte said to press after the match. “It’s our fault, it was a fools’ loss … we made some childish errors in the final minutes.”

Católica striker José Muñoz got the scoring underway in the 22nd minute after his low shot from range took a small deflection past Rodrigo Naranjo into the net. Iquique’s Santiago Romero almost levelled the score six minutes from the break, though winger Michael Ríos was on the line to prevent the midfielder´s header from going in.

Just before the halftime whistle, Católica striker Ismael Sosa’s tap-in was the culmination of a blistering counter attack, and the team settled in during the second half for what looked to be a routine Católica victory. Two set pieces in the 90th and 94th minute would change all that.

Iquique loaded the box for a free kick from the right, and striker Gerson Martínez was completely unmarked when he rose to nod in a header. Four minutes later, another dead ball delivered from within Iquique’s own half wriggled through the Católica defense to find strike veteran Manuel Villalobos who finished coolly beyond Cristopher Toselli.

The draw sees Iquique drop to seventh in the table.

Palestino 2-0 Cobreloa

Cobreloa gave up its spot at the top of the league Saturday, suffering goals against and red cards in both halves at Palestino. The loss sees an end to Cobreloa’s incredible 26-match unbeaten run across all competitions. Coach Jorge García was withering in his appraisal of referee Carlos Ulloa, who along with the cards awarded a penalty against the visiting team.

“We were harmed by the awarding of non-existent fouls,” García said to Prensafútbol after the match. “The referee helped Palestino today. I have spoken with the Cobreloa director and we will take action through the ANFP (Chilean soccer’s governing body). It is sad to lose not against Palestino, but against the referee.”

The first controversial decision came midway through the second half, when Cristián Suárez was harshly judged to have handled in the box when it looked nigh on impossible for him to have moved his arm out of the way of a flick from forward Roberto Gutiérrez.

Keeper Luciano Palos duly saved the spot kick, though could do nothing to prevent Palestino striker Diego Cháves’ confident drive in the 39th minute. Two minutes later, midfielder René Lima was given a questionable red card for a challenge on Palestino’s Pablo Tamburrini, and García’s hackles were raised once again when Cristián Gaitán was sent off on 62 minutes.

Defender Javier Capelli’s header in the 73rd doubled his team’s lead, though Cobreloa was given a way back into the game soon after, when the team was awarded a penalty after another curious handball decision by Ulloa. García had no problem with this call of course, though he surely had words with Jonathan Chávez after the striker ballooned the ball over the bar.

The win takes Palestino to sixth in the league.

Unión Española 0-2 Universidad de Chile

After last week’s Copa Sudamericana disappointment, Universidad de Chile registered its second consecutive win in the Apertura against defending champion Unión Española on Sunday, and moves to fifth place and within five points of the top.

The match was far closer than the scoreline suggests, and “La U” relied on poor finishing from Española strikers Gustavo Canales and Sebastián Jaime as well as some resilient defending to maintain the clean sheet.

Defender Juan Ignacio Sills got the scoring underway in the 12 minute when he helped in a shot from playmaker Gustavo Lorenzetti. Canales then went inches wide with a freekick and later in the second half struck the post with a header, though “La U” clung on until injury time when young striker Patricio Rubio added a second with a tap-in.

Española sits 14th halfway through a truly dismal title-defending season.

Cobresal 3-1 Colo Colo

Colo Colo’s nightmarish season continues, as the most successful club in Chilean soccer history slumped to its fifth defeat in six games against Cobresal on Saturday. The team now sits two places from bottom in the league.

Rumours of the departure of Gustavo Benítez are rife — claims have the manager close to resigning, while Colo Colo’s board of directors is apparently divided over Benítez’s future at the club.

Colo Colo started the match well enough, and striker Nicolás Canales scored with a header after just two minutes. The visiting side took complete control of the first half, though couldn’t find a way through Cobresal’s resolute backline.

The second half was an entirely different affair — Colo Colo simply capitulated, and Cobresal was merciless on the offensive. Striker Ever Cantero capitalized on some woeful defending to tap in his team’s first on the hour mark, and midfielder Mariano Néstro Torres’s rocket made it two in the 72nd minute.

Cobresal’s confidence was brimming, and ten minutes later Johan Muñoz thought he’d have a go from within his own half. The midfielder pumped it long, and the shot came off, sailing over the head of the hapless Justo Villar and into the net to end the scoring.

The win takes Cobresal to 8th in the league.


Universidad de Concepción 2-1 Audax Italiano

Universidad de Concepción continues to punch above its weight, registering its second consecutive win against Italiano on Sunday. The newly promoted club is now fifth in the league.

Striker Diego Vallejos put Italiano ahead on the half hour mark when his shot trickled underneath an embarrassed Cristián Muñoz. The home side then launched a spirited fightback, though would have to wait until the 80th minute for an equalizer in the form of an Andrés Imperiale header. Five minutes later, striker José Luis Jiménez gave his team the win after coming out on top in a 12-yard box scramble.

Italiano sinks to 15th in the league.


Unión La Calera 1-1 Antofagasta

Unión La Calera and Antofagasta shared the spoils in a mid-table matchup Saturday.

The home side had the slight edge over Antofagasta in a tight game, and scored first through a bullet from striker Rodrigo Gattas on 15 minutes. Antofagasta forward Juan Gonzalo Lorca tied up the game in the 67th minute. La Calera striker Leandro Venegas could have given his team the win with minutes to spare, though instead put forth his effort for miss of the season, hoofing the ball over the bar from three yards out.

Antofagasta is 10th and La Calera sits 13th in the table.

Rangers 0-3 Ñublense

A beautiful performance from midfielder Jonathan Cisternas helped Ñublense to its second straight league win against Rangers on Sunday. Having spent much of the season rooted to the bottom of the league, the minnows from the south now sit in 12th place.

The visitors went ahead early on when midfielder Mathías Riquero guided in a fine cross in the 4th minute. Rangers turned up the heat and came close three times before the break, with striker Pablo Vegetti guilty of a particularly shocking miss.

The second half was all Ñublense, and Jonathan Cisternas shone brightly, creating several chances and scoring twice from open play, with a technically astute curling effort in the the 60th and a strike in off the bar ten minutes later.

Rangers are second to last in the league.


Santiago Wanderers 3-0 Everton

The derby match between seaside neighbours Everton and Wanderers is always a heated affair, though this matchup was especially cantankerous — five red cards were brandished as Valparaíso side Wanderers thrashed Viña del Mar’s Everton 3-0 on Sunday.

Marcos Sebastián Pol had a particularly colorful match. The Wanderers striker received a yellow card in the first half, before netting the opener in the 34th minute. Pol added another with a beautifully taken strike just after the break, though he then received a second yellow for kicking the corner flag in his celebration. The sending off evened the numbers however, as defender Alex Von Schwedler had been sent off earlier for leading with his elbow into a challenge for a header.

Wanderers midfielder Sebastián Méndez and Everton defender Orlando Gutiérrez where both given their marching orders after an altercation over a full blooded challenge on the right wing, and Everton’s Francisco Saavedra was sent off soon after that when the defender stamped on Wanderers striker Matías Donoso. Down to eight men, Everton could do little to prevent Wanderers pouring forward, and the side was lucky to concede just one more goal when fullback Óscar Opazo struck 15 minutes from time.

Wanderers sit 9th and Everton drop to 11th in the league.

Mohamed renunció a Huracán

BUENOS AIRES -- Antonio Mohamed ratificó este martes que renuncia a la dirección técnica de Huracán, pese a que la dirigencia aseguró que quería mantenerlo, tras haber perdido siete de los diez partidos del campeonato Nacional B.

Inmediatamente el nombre de Angel Cappa salió disparado hacia la candidatura, aunque también figura un hombre de la casa, Fernando "Teté" Quiroz, y el de Omar Labruna.

Cappa sedujo al hincha del Globo por haber guiado al equipo en la última gran campaña de 2009, en la que perdió el título ante Vélez, en una tarde tan negra para el árbitro Gabriel Brazenas, que nunca más volvió a dirigir. El punto en contra es que Cappa reside en España.

"Hemos decidido dar un paso al costado, creemos que es lo mejor para el club. Hemos perdido 7 de 10 partidos. No todos los cuentos de hadas terminan bien", sostuvo Mohamed, el martes al presentarse en el club para despedirse.

Es que la renuncia de Mohamed se supo un buen rato después de la dura caída ante el humilde Brown de Adrogué, 1-0 en el Tomás A. Ducó.

El vicepresidente del club, Luis Sasso, admitió temprano que intentarían seducir a Mohamed para que siga al frente del plantel.

"No hay nadie mejor que él para revertir esto. No se merece irse así", sostuvo el directivo.

Sin embargo, un rato más tarde, Mohamed volvió al club y confirmó ante la prensa que se iba, y al pasar contó que la familia está mal.

"No hay que ser egoístas, ni con el club ni con uno mismo y mi familia la está pasando mal y en la escala de valores mi familia es lo más importante", dijo.

Finalmente, agradeció "el amor" del hincha y dejó abierta la historia que mantiene con el club, al que había vuelto tras un exitoso paso por el Tijuana de México.

"Esto no se termina. En algún momento nos vamos a encontrar", se despidió.

Boa tarde!

Her er lidt nyheder fra min side! =)
Min kommende blogindlæg bliver omkring de mest i øjefaldende talenter i den Brasilianske liga ligenu og så håber jeg på mere aktivitet, når jeg ikke rammer rush-hour. Nu hvor det er koldt og temperaturen daler - er det bare at få drømme sig væk i Miss Brasil og Musa do Brasileirão.. i dejlige himmelstrøg.

For søren da, nu må jeg hellere hive fat i den nærmeste Cachaça eller erva-mate te. Eller få spist mig tyk nok i arroz og feijão, så jeg kan overleve vinteren.

Har også ændret i min signatur, så man kan se verdens bedste spiller nogensinde køre gæk med verdenen. Chupa Pelé, chupa paulista!

Ramón: "El clásico se juega diferente"

BUENOS AIRES -- Ramón Díaz sostuvo que River y Boca llegan en un buen momento al Superclásico, que es un partido que "se juega diferente" y remarcó la importancia que tiene para su equipo ganar para "seguir peleando arriba". De los posibles árbitros dijo: "Mientras no sea Delfino, está todo bien".

"Creo lo que sí que tenemos que valorar del equipo y del grupo son estos últimos partidos, el sacrificio que vienen haciendo y tener la posibilidad de pasar", remarcó el DT millonario sobre el desgaste que tuvieron en las últimas semanas por la Copa Sudamericana.

"Tenemos expectativas en el campeonato y llegar a las instancias finales en la copa", señaló por primera vez y el concepto lo iba a repetir varias veces en su diálogo con la prensa.

Sobre los dichos de Juan Román Riquelme previos al Superclásico, opinó: "Riquelme es muy respetuoso. Siempre habla de fútbol. Siempre hablamos bien de él porque es un gran jugador, ha ganado todo con Boca. Hay que evaluar en el último período, con la vuelta de Bianchi y la nuestra, todo lo que ha pasado. Él no ve a la gente contenta y yo sí la veo contenta".
"Para mí están contentos los dos porque vienen de ganar.Nosotros tenemos nuestro estilo. Lo veo cotidianamente que la gente de River está contenta. Es un muy momento especial para River".

Consultado sobre su preferencia entre la terna de árbitros que pueden dirigir el Superclásico, Ramón contestó risueño: "Mientras no sea Delfino, está todo bien. Lo digo de buena onda, eh. La vez que le tocó dirigir, me expulsó", aclaró.

Con respecto a cómo imagina el partido, comentó: "El equipo lo tenemos, con la intención de ir a buscarlo. Ellos tienen a Riquelme, a Gago. Si los dos se lo proponen, va a salir un gran partido", afirmó.

Sobre el posible cambio de esquema de Carlos Bianchi, Díaz dijo: "Sacaría a (Juan Manuel) Martínez, ojalá que lo haga", destacando la calidad del delantero.

"Estamos en el mejor momento -reiteró-. Ya sea el esquema que pongan ellos. Necesitamos los tres puntos, porque queremos seguir peleando arriba".

"Anticipamos la preparación, haciendo fútbol hoy", agregó, aunque se negó a dar un equipo.

Preguntado sobre qué tiene de especial el Superclásico, Ramón Díaz explicó: "Es un partido diferente. El periodismo y la gente lo interpretan de otra manera. Al grupo lo vemos muy tranquilo, consciente de las características que tenemos. Con el apoyo de la gente. Se juega diferente, la táctica es diferente y la interpretación también".

"Lo jugamos para ganar los tres puntos, porque los necesitamos. Después del pase de la copa, lo necesitamos".

"Tengo mucha confianza en el grupo, cómo está trabajando. Tenemos que estar convencido de lo que hacemos".

"El equipo tiene un poder de adaptarse al momento, contra quien va a jugar", destacó de River.

Saliendo un poco de lo futbolístico y los temores habituales a hechos de violencia, Ramón pidió " que la gente lo venga a disfrutar".

"Dentro y fuera de la cancha, somos toda gente que se conoce".

"La cancha de River es la más segura del país. En la cancha de river nunca sucedió nada", sentenció, pasando por alto los tantos choques internos de la barra en el propio Monumental.

Y volviendo a lo futbolístico adelantó: "Vamos a tratar de explotar al máximo las características que tenemos. Creo que va a ser un partido abierto. Y nosotros le vamos a tratar de meter presión, porque somos locales".

"Estamos tranquilos, pensando en los objetivos que queremos cumplir. El que mejor interprete el partido, se lo va a llevar".

"Tenemos que tener la capacidad de provocarlos, de atacarlos. Vamos a tratar de contrarrestar las cosas que tienen ellos. Sacarle la pelota a Riquelme, a Gago, a Sánchez Miño".

"Que gane el mejor, ojalá que sea River"

"River y Boca están anímicamente bien. Venimos de pasar en la Copa. Queremos mantenernos".

"Jugando de local somos bravos, hay que estar atentos", cerró Ramón.

Volverían Ledesma, Rojas y Carbonero

BUENOS AIRES -- Cristian Ledesma y Ariel Rojas, ausentes contra Lanús por lesión, y Carlos Carbonero, quien cumplió una fecha de suspensión, se perfilan para ser titulares en River, el domingo, ante el Boca.
Por orden del DT Ramón Díaz, Ledesma (recuperado de un hematoma en la zona inguinal) y Ariel Rojas, quien salió con una fatiga muscular en el isquiotibial izquierdo en el partido de vuelta con Liga de Loja por la Copa Sudamericana y no estuvo ante Lanús, hicieron trabajos regenerativos y físicos con los titulares.

En tanto, el colombiano Carlos Carbonero, quien llegó a la quinta tarjeta amarilla y por eso no estuvo en el triunfo 1-0 ante el `Granate´ del domingo pasado, hizo fútbol reducido con el resto del plantel (marcó un gol) y fue seguido de cerca por Ramón en el predio de Ezeiza.

Por su parte, el defensor Eder Álvarez Balanta, quien sufrió un golpe en el tobillo derecho el domingo último, continúa con trabajos de kinesiología pero llegará al Superclásico.

Si bien entre jueves y viernes se definirá la alineación para recibir a Boca en el Monumental, el domingo a las 18.10, por la décima fecha del torneo Inicial, los tres mediocampistas y Balanta estarían entre los 11.

River formaría con Marcelo Barovero; Gabriel Mercado, Jonathan Maidana, Eder Balanta y Leonel Vangioni; Carlos Carbonero, Cristian Ledesma y Ariel Rojas; Manuel Lanzini, Teófilo Gutiérrez y Federico Andrada.

Así, las variantes serán los ingresos de Carbonero por Leonardo Ponzio, Ledesma por Matías Kranevitter y Rojas por Osmar Ferreyra, todos en la mitad de la cancha.

Este miércoles por la mañana, el plantel millonario volverá a entrenarse en Ezeiza.

Boa tarde!

Boa Tarde !

Godt at høre nyt - lyder fedt med bloggen, ser jeg frem til - apropos Musas så er Samba opmærksom på forventningerne til Musablogen , han er stadigvæk i Brasilien - så det passer fint med øget fokus på finkuætur.

Ja det er blevet koldt - kaffe er iøvrigt også godt her i vintermånederne...;-)
